Hi, Paul -- you asked me to leave you a message on your talk page if I needed help, so -- question: how do I upload files? Professor Suharta's sent me a bunch of files that go on either her or the Solar Cooking Application Group's page, but the only features/media options I have are "Photo", "Gallery", "Slideshow", "Slider", "Video" and "Table". I'm assuming that either my account doesn't have the necessary permissions or that I'm just doing it all wrong. Help? Thanks in advance!

Hi Paul - I saw your comment on the San Fernando Valley Time Exchange website. I am the coordinator and also the solar cooking instructor. Normally, our skills classes are open to members only. However, since I teach the class, I invite the public. I will be scheduling a class in the spring when the weather is sunny and the winds die down. The location will likely be a public park. Here is my email address SFVTimeExchange@gmail.com

Hi Paul; It is counterproductive to block an IP for more than a day unless it is a repeat offender. Many or most IP are dynamic. This means that if the next visit is more than a day or so later, a vandal will have a new IP and your block will not affect him/her. However, if a desirable visitor happens to be assigned the IP that you have blocked anytime in the next six months, s/he will get an IP blocked message and will be discouraged. Even a repeat vandal IP may belong to a school with desirable visitors. Our experience on Wikimedia Commons is that a 1 day block discourages most vandals.

Let's compromise and block everyone for three days. My understanding is that Comcast cable internet users, for example, keep the same IP address for months and are only issued a new address if they or Comcast resets their cable modem. I'm not too worried about inadvertently blocking a user here and there who happens to have the same IP address as the offender had. It would make me feel safer if we just block the offender if he checks the page in the next day or two to see if his vandalism is still there. It would save us work and embarrassment if he found himself blocked at that time. Thanks for the warning, Walt.
